London Development Agency

The London Development Agency (LDA) was the regional development agency for the London region in England. It existed as a functional body of the Greater London Authority. Its purpose was to drive sustainable economic growth within London.

Major achievements included the Thames Barrier. Smaller projects were inherited from English Partnerships or done in collaboration with Greater London Authority and other public sector organisations including Department for International Development, the British Council, and London College of Fashion alongside London boroughs. Members of the Greater London Authority commissioned a 2008 report on these projects, followed by another in 2009.
